Description
You’ve been home with your kids and something feels off. You’re feeling bored, irritated, restless, and wondering when you stopped feeling like yourself. You think about going back to work, but you're not sure what jobs would fit your life, or how to explain your resume gap.
Back to Work helps you make sense of what comes next, whether you’re looking for full time, part time, remote, or flexible work. Hosted by HR professional and former stay at home mom Carrie McFarland, you’ll learn what employers look for, how to talk about your experience, and how to take the next step back to work.
